What happens
Hwasin – Controller of the Heart (Korean: 화신 – 마음을 지배하는 자) was a South Korean talk show which aired from February 19 to October 1, 2013 on Tuesday nights at 11:20 pm KST on SBS. It was hosted by comedian Shin Dong-yup, actress Kim Hee-sun, and singer Yoon Jong-shin. Hwasin has several meanings, including God of Tuesday (화요일의 신; 火神) and God of Talk (화술의 신; 話神), as well as Shin Dong-yup and Yoon Jong-shin's Shin (신), and Goddess (여신) Kim Hee-sun. The program was referred to as the second season of Strong Heart, but with a different format focused on exploring lifestyle differences between generations through surveys to viewers. On May 1, 2013, it was announced that comedian Kim Gu-ra would join the program as new host, marking his return to SBS since his sudden departure from television in April 2012. The program's format was also changed, abandoning the viewer surveys and focusing on people instead. The first episode to air with Kim Gu-ra and a new format aired May 14, 2013. On May 9, 2013, it was announced that Yoon Jong-shin will be leaving the show due to schedule and health issues. He was replaced by actor Bong Tae-gyu, who was a guest on the May 14th episode, and officially as new host airing May 21, 2013. After a seven-month run, Hwasin was officially cancelled due to low ratings on September 24, 2013, and was replaced by reality program Beating Heart. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
